Join us as we step off the Norwegian Cruise Line’s NCL Joy and explore the charming, historic town of Sitka, Alaska. From stunning nature walks to rich cultural history and tasty local eats, Sitka is a cruise port that delivers unforgettable experiences. We start our day at Sitka National Historical Park (Totem Park), strolling along forested trails lined with towering, hand-carved totem poles telling the stories of Alaska’s Native peoples. Next, we visit St. Michael’s Cathedral, the iconic Russian Orthodox church that stands as a symbol of Sitka’s Russian heritage. A short walk brings us to the Sitka Pioneer Home, once a military outpost and now a treasured assisted living residence with a proud history. From there, we climb the steps to the Baranof Castle State Historic Site, where Alaska’s transfer from Russia to the United States was marked in 1867—don’t expect a castle, but do expect breathtaking views of Sitka’s harbor. Hungry from exploring? We stop at Pel’Meni Russian Dumpling House for authentic, flavorful dumplings. Whether you’re planning a cruise stop or just dreaming of Alaska, this Sitka adventure packs in **history, culture, nature, and delicious food** all within easy walking distance from the cruise ship port. 📍 Featured Attractions: * Sitka National Historical Park (Totem Park) * St. Michael’s Cathedral * Sitka Pioneer Home * Baranof Castle State Historic Site * Pel’Meni Russian Dumpling House * Centennial Hall #SitkaAlaska #NCLJoy #NorwegianCruiseLine #AlaskaCruise #TotemPark #StMichaelsCathedral #BaranofCastle #Pelmeni #CruisePortGuide #JustRamblinAround Our Equipment: GoPro5 : https://amzn.to/3W706JP GoPro10 : https://amzn.to/3JoNRRt Nikon Z30 : https://amzn.to/4d2bOvo Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra DJI Mini 2 Our Software and Subscription Services: https://share.epidemicsound.com/cyumoq Adobe Premier Pro Adobe Photoshop Adobe Illustrator 🎉🎈🥳Please subscribe to our channel to stay in touch so we can share what we are up to!🐕🌋🌅 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYptpWdN5KNCq5pwdvGNrhQ?sub_confirmation=1 Website: www.justramblinaround.com Facebook: Just Ramblin Around Instagram: @justrambinaround Email: jrawithronandjodi@gmail.com Hi Ramblers!
